Description
Do a caregiver's device-related behaviors affect attachment security with their child? That question was the basis of two national studies by the co-presenters, which both found evidence of a connection. In this interactive session, they will discuss their research outcomes and provide strategies to help identify and heal attachment ruptures created by caregiver device use.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
-
List and describe 3 types of attachment bonds, assess, and recognize at least 2 potential attachment threats.
-
Identify 3 examples and/or symptomatic manifestations of unhealthy or inappropriate primary caregiver device use and/or behaviors which could contribute to the development of an insecure attachment rupture or bond.
-
List and implement 3 skills to help parents/caregivers avoid generating any future device-centric behavior attachment ruptures with their children.
-
Address any existing attachment bond ruptures related to a caregiver's device use, and begin to reconcile, rehabilitate, and heal them.
Educational Goal
This presentation highlights the significant connection between caregiver device-related behaviors and children's attachment security, presenting findings from two national studies that reveal how unhealthy device use can threaten attachment bonds. Attendees will gain insights into identifying these behaviors and learn effective strategies for healing attachment ruptures and fostering healthier parent-child relationships.
